RonJonSurfer Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Glitter's Bandmates Fear Backlash Already the Glitter Band's concert in Manchester was cancelled. Gary Glitter's former bandmates are concerned for their safety following the shamed rocker's recent arrest on child molestation charges in Vietnam. Glitter, real name Paul Fracis Gadd, was charged with child molestation last Friday after being arrested at the Vietnamese capital Ho Chi Minh's airport as he attempted to leave for Thailand. Investigating police officers have identified six alleged victims in the case, the youngest is aged 11. Back in Britain, The Glitter Band, who still perform Glitter's hit songs, are concerned his arrest could affect their gig bookings and livelihood. This week, the Glitter Band's concert at Manchester's Civic Centre was cancelled. Singer John Rossall, 57, says, "They thought we knew what Glitter was doing. We were guilty by association. "As far as we are concerned, Gary Glitter was just a character, an actor - it's Paul Gadd who has done these terrible things. When I think I shared a stage with that man it makes me sick to the stomach." Rossall has not spoken to Glitter for 25 years.
